A 16-year-old who helped to prepare a foiled attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna last year has avoided prison.
Mohamed A was given an 18-month suspended sentence under juvenile criminal law in Berlin on Tuesday.
The Syrian, who prosecutors said was radicalised by Islamic State (IS) propaganda on the internet, was 14 when he helped the would-be attacker with a translation of bomb-making instructions from Arabic and put him in contact with an IS member.
Swift's three sold-out gigs at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium were called off in August last year by concert organisers after the planned attack was uncovered by police.
The court noted that the teenager made a full confession to the charges, which were brought under his alias, Mohamed A, in line with German privacy laws.
As a part of the sentence, he must fulfill certain conditions to avoid serving time in prison. Additionally, three other teenagers associated with the plot have been detained by authorities in Austria.
The main suspect, identified as Beran A, is a 20-year-old Austrian still under investigation after being arrested prior to the concerts due to a tip-off from the CIA, believed to be connected to a broader plan involving multiple attacks.
In August last year, Swift voiced her concerns over the cancellation, stating: I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives, solidifying the gratitude towards law enforcement for averting a disaster.
